FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED.
j. A. Adams, a Wealthy Farmer
Near Green Ridge, Found
Dead To-Day.

A telegram was received by DR..
Depp this morning. from George l..
Yeater, and dated Green Ridge, mott.
flying him of the death of j Q. Adams
and asking him to send the cor.
oner to hold the inquest. No partic.
ulars of the death beyond this tele.
gram are obtainable at present.
Mr.. Adams was a bachelor, about
90 years old, and owned a splendid
farm six miles south of Green Ridge.
He was considered quite wealthy, and
had been living alone on his farm.
Foul play is suspected from the fact
that he was known to often have large
sums of money about him, and his
habits we're familiar to many of his
neighbors.
He was highly connected, being a
near relative of the Stephens family
Of BOOnville, and other noted families.
Gentlemen here, who are acquainted
with him, pronounce him one of the
best citizens in the county, esteemed
and respected by all with whom ne
came in contact.
DIR. Depp telegraphed George
Adams, a brother of the deceased, at
Boonville, and Mrs. William Steph-
ems, his sister, at Bunceton, and they
will probably 60 to Green Ridge to-
night.
A telegram was received about l
o'clock from James Vaughn, justice of
the peace at Green Ridge, notifying
the coroner not to come, as he had al
ready held an inquest. The cause of
death was not stated.
A gentleman who left Green Ridge
at 3 o'clock this morning stated to the
BAzoo that he heard nothing of the
case before leaving home He saw
Mr.. Adams at 9 o'clock Tuesday
night, and left him as well as usual.
Mr.. Adams was subject to neuralgia
of the heart, and the gentleman sup
posed that was the cause of his sudden
taking off.

Have Given it up.

Shanklin Gilkeson, a prominent
business man, of Warrensburg, was in
the city this morning, and was met at
the court house by BAzoo reporter
at noon.
"What do your people think of the
Colorado railroad, Mr.. GilkesonT
asked the reporter.

the gentleman. 1--WE have about CIV
en- it up. 1t does look a little blue
for US"
81 don't see how it could be other
wise. The map and profile have been
filed, and the matter settled, so it
seems to me"
"What do you say to that ?" J
"What can we say? We have
worked hard for the road, but | sup
pose we have lost it, and we feel that
the road has missed a good paying
town."
"Will the building of the road north
of you, and so near, hurt your
trade ?"
'Of course. But we can't help
ourselves. We have the best town in
Central Missouri, and can get along
somehow without the Colorado. The
road is the one to suffer from the loss
of considerable business.

"DOLORES" DELAYED.
BolOssy Kiralfy's Company Laid
Out Here by an Accident
to Their Train.

Kiralfy's "Dolores" company, en-
route from St. Louis to Kansas City
by special train, was delayed here this
morning for several hours, on account
of a broken truck on one of their
baggage cars. The train left St.
Louis at 2 o'clock this morning, and
was due at Kansas City at 1920, but
the broken car will delay them several
hours.
Mr.. Kiralty was seen by a BAzoo
reporter this morning, in his private
car, and asked as to his business.
II played eleven times in st. Louis
last week." said he, "and did splendid
business at each performance. L have
fifty-one people, you see, and must
take in few dollars now and then, to
pay them"
"You are going to Kansas City ?"
Eyes | am billed at the ellis
this week, and the manager writes me
that business will be frst-rate."
"How many cars have you ?"
Three; two baggage cars full of
scenery and property, and we carry
the people in this car. Lively lot OF
people, heyT
The manager smiled as he opened
the door and pushed the reporter in.
The people were lounging around in
INDECENT ease. Some were reading,
others playing dominoes, while third
party was busy with some kind of a
game with cards, and used blue, red
and white disks, perfectly blank and
smooth, about the size of United
States "two-bit" piece. There we're
number of good-looking girls, and
smooth-faced young men. The cigar
cites were not all confined to the male
sex.
boys, this is a reporter for the
Sedalia BAzoo," said Mr.. Kiralfy.
"We've heard of you," said a hand
some blonde, as she came forward and
shook hands with the BAzoo guar
dian angel. eve saw a copy of your
paper in St. Louis yesterday,
and we took turns read
it. "She's lulu, continued
the young lady, as she handed the
BAzoo box of dukes Cameo"
"Where's that newspaper fellow ?"
asked beardless youth in fur-trimmed
overcoat, as he came swinging up the
aisle. "Shake, pard J"
The accident to the car occurred
about two miles east of the city. The
train was running at about thirtymiles
an hour, land the first intimation of the
accident was the humping of the
broken truck frame on the ends of the
ties. The conductor pulled the signal
bell cord, but it broke in two, and he
stopped the train by applying the au-
tomato air brake. The broken car
was repaired at the M. K. & T.
shops.

The Social Evil.

The arrest of two young girls in a
room in the Marvin block Sunday
morning gives rise to good deal of
talk. A BAzoo reporter talked with
the older one, Annie, this morning,
and heard a pitiful tale of woe. The
girls come of an honest, Woodworking
family, and are themselves well &C
quainted with toll. They were hired
in respectable families in this city,
with not a stain against their fair
name. At first they met by appoint
nent and took stroll, arm in arm,
conversing in sisterly manner, and
returning home in good season. Once
they staid beyond their usual time, and
darkness found them still upon the
street. No harm coming to them,
they staid out late another night, and
yet another, wandering up and down
the street as girls are wont to do. One
evening darkness overlook them, and
with the darkness came the tempter,
in the shape of the brazen young man
of the world. The girls had company
in their walks, but still no harm. Star
after star peeped out, to watch the
gradual creeping of an arm around a
slender waist. From the lifting of a
hat at meeting lovely innocence, it
had come to this. Then kiss at part
ing, and a more frequent meeting.
Two men came, and distance
divided the sisters as they walked. The
younger of the two returned betimes,
and waited for her sister. Directly
she came, and there was a lingering
parting at the gate. The next night
the same, with several minutes added
to the coming. And the next, when
Pleaides had mounted high in heaven,
and the far-off chanticleer had chron-
icled the birth of a new day, the elder
sister came in, flushed with wine, and
blushing with the shame upon her.
She had gone beyond the line of maid
emily virtue, and fallen in the snare so
cunningly laid. Time went on, each
recurring day but recording the old,
old story.
From honest toll she left off, and
gave her time and loveliness into the
keeping of the man who dragged her
down. No honest roof could shelter
her now no pure home should be to
her a home. She went away, and
took her sister with her-innocent,
trusting, grasping at the golden but
terfy her sister painted for her, she
went to share the queenly room where
the elder of the two was domiciled.
Not dreaming but that all was right,
she suffered herself to be led into the
presence of the men who claimed to
be her protectors.
The officers of the law, defend
ing virtue and eondemning crime,
found them thus. Both
cried and pleaded not to be heralded
before the community as common har-
lots. Annie, whose penitence came
too late, protested that her sister had
not been harmed /: that she alone had
fallen, and that she had watched her
sister with a loving eye, and saw no
stain upon her. She had sinned, and
SHINING, had cast her soul into the
very depths of hell. Before all that

THE PROSPECTS OF BUSINESS.
/ miller sat in a chestnut tree,

A miller sat in Il chestnut tree,
Aud cracked some ancient nuts for me.
He said that -four was cheap as dirt,
That his bank account was badly hurt
BY the prOftless trade of the dying year
That -four was low and wheat was dear.
Ping out, my merry chestnut bell,
Ring sharp and clear, and to him tell
That this same tale he told before,
Aud bids him tell IT ncvermors.
The builder of mills, in his easy chair,
To me doth often sadly swear
That business to the dogs must go,
If prices keep SO very low;
That things look darkly Glue and drear,
And says, "0h, shoot the glad New Yearp'
Ring out, oh, truSty chestnut bell,
Ring sharp and clear, and to him tell
That this same tale he's told before,
And bids him tell it nevermore.
Now let me sit in mine Office chair,
With my good big pen and my frowsy
hair,
Al d let me write that "in eighty seven
Both millers aud furnishers find their
heaven;
For prices will rise ard profits will grow
And then can say, II told you So"
But bark do | hear a chestnut bell
No, It's only a card, with words that tell,
AS lay it away on my dusty shelf,
Somewhat of liar am myself"
